I'm looking at this method in the Executors class:

--------------------------------
newFixedThreadPool
public static ExecutorService newFixedThreadPool(int nThreads)

Creates a thread pool that reuses a fixed set of threads operating off a shared unbounded queue. If any thread terminates due to a failure during execution prior to shutdown, a new one will take its place if needed to execute subsequent tasks.

--------------------------------

How much is too much in terms of me telling it how many threads I want?  Is it okay to ask for 100 threads?  What about 256?

Thanks.
